Firefox OS smartphones now shipping in Africa

Just over a month after Firefox OS arrived in South Africa, Mozilla launched a device running its open source mobile OS in other parts of Africa, too.

 

Dubbed Orange Klif, the 3G device runs on Orange's mobile network, and was made available for purchase in Senegal and Madagascar this past week.
“We are pleased to partner with Orange to bring the mobile Web to users in a substantial number of new growth markets across Africa and the Middle East," said Mozilla CTO Andreas Gal. “I’m also thrilled to see how the imminent arrival of Firefox OS has created excitement in the local Mozilla communities.”
